Pine Jam, May 28 & 29 - 2011

April 22nd, 2011, 02:32 PM

The Pine Jam is a PDGA B-Tier event at Hyzer Pines DGC, in Sisters. Narrow gaps and densely wooded fairways meander through the Ponderosa forest next to Sisters High School. All divisions will play three rounds on three different layouts. Lunches provided and a player's pack for all pre-registered by May 21. Camping just a mile down the street and plenty of lodging options.

I don't yet know if I can make this event, but I'd like to throw out a big cheer of support. This was by FAR, the most underattended event I played last year, the courses were fantastic! The tournament was run very professionally, they gave us food, everyone was really friendly, and I hope that word of mouth support can help do a better job of filling this event this year. I will do my best to attend.

Also, just a note, on the website, to see the flyer you have to scroll over the registration button and click on the mail option, hitting the registration button takes you to last years flyer. Took me a minute to figure that one out.

Well put Joshua, and I agree wholeheartedly... This was a great Event and deserves to be full! Sadly, I won't be able to attend this year.

I think you better be early to get a spot at the campground. There's also a mountain bike race in town that weekend. They are limiting the race to 500 people!
From their website:
"And camping sites are available in the city campground near the start/finish."http://www.sistersstampede.com/index.html

Westys can park wherever they want, but it might be worth the mile long drive down the road for some companionship. We have a primitive (free) group camp area just across the road from the Cold Springs campground. Yes, there are showers in the Coffield Center which will be open in the mornings around 7AM.

Yes, there are plenty of good hotels in Sisters. It's a pretty busy travel weekend and most of Bend is sold out already. We called around to check on rates in Sisters, here are your best options (both within a mile of the course):
Ponderosa Lodge: From $134.99
Sisters Inn & Suites: From $79.00

Also, plenty of Rebels would be thrilled to host a Gausnell trio at their house. Are you scared of getting dirty at the campground?

Made reservations at the Ponderosa today, thanks for the info. My brothers can't get the wardens to let them out for the weekend. Camping in the dirt never scares me, I'm bringing me a hot date and want to get her in to a hot tub. Scotty and I won't be leaving until Saturday morning so we just need beds for one night. If a Rebel wants to put up with 2 Misfits for a night speak up and save us $134.99.
